How Long Does It Take to Grow Long Hair?

Growing long hair is a journey that requires patience and understanding of the hair growth process. On average, hair grows about half an inch per month, which translates to roughly six inches per year. However, this growth rate can vary from person to person, with some experiencing faster or slower growth.

Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle

To better support your hair growth, it’s essential to understand the four stages of the hair growth cycle:

1. Anagen Phase: This is the active growth phase, lasting two to six years. During this time, new hair pushes old hair out of the follicle. Approximately 90% of your hair is in this phase at any given moment.

2. Catagen Phase: Following the anagen phase, this transitional phase lasts about three weeks but can extend up to four months. Hair growth stops during this period.

3. Telogen Phase: Also known as the resting phase, this stage lasts about three months. The body prepares to shed hair and start a new growth cycle.

4. Exogen Phase: This is the shedding phase, lasting a few days. During this time, you might lose around 100 hairs per day, which is a natural part of the growth cycle.

Each hair strand goes through these phases independently, making shedding a normal and necessary part of achieving new, longer, and stronger hair.

Supporting Your Hair Growth Journey

While you can’t speed up hair growth overnight, there are several ways to support and enhance your hair’s health and growth potential:

Regular Trims

Regular trims help remove split ends and damaged hair, promoting healthier and potentially faster hair growth.

Healthy Diet

A balanced, nutrient-rich diet is crucial for healthy hair growth. Include foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, essential minerals, and vitamins, such as vitamin E. Healthy hair starts from the inside, and what you consume significantly impacts your overall health and hair growth.

Hair Oil

Using a quality hair oil can make a big difference. Our BUR BUR Growing Season treatment is formulated to enhance the appearance of thicker and fuller hair. This proprietary blend includes burdock, nettle, vitamin C, and plant proteins, all packed with essential nutrients like vitamin A. These ingredients are clinically proven to promote thicker, fuller-looking hair for all hair types with consistent use over two months.

Stress Reduction

Chronic stress can negatively impact your health and hair growth. Studies show that cortisol, the stress hormone, can push hair into the telogen (resting) phase prematurely, leading to hair loss. Finding ways to manage stress is vital for maintaining healthy hair growth.

Scalp Massage

Daily scalp massages can promote hair growth by increasing blood circulation to the hair follicles. For the best results, we recommend using our Wheat Straw Scalp Massager during your massage routine.
